That Girl

We should note Teyana Taylor's hair slayage.🖤

@manticoremoons Yup. They swore up and down that we were anti black love and c@@ns for telling them exactly what was going to happen once Trina got legshackled to that Khia. And we were right. This is White Hospital. We know how the game is rigged against black characters. It's just facts atp.

I'm still waiting for the people who demonised us to admit they were wrong. They acted like we were deranged/racist when we based our assessment on established GH offences re: Trina + well-documented histories of misogynoir & mistreatment of Black characters on GH & other soaps.

LEIGH-ANNE

Leigh-Anne and MNEK discuss online discourse about the “authenticity” of Leigh-Anne’s solo music: MNEK: “I understood the desire to want to touch on your Caribbean roots in your music, and it sounds great. You sound fresh, you sound like yourself, and it means something to you. It’s interesting, because there might be people who think it’s inauthentic, and that always comes from our own people – people who are Black, British, Caribbean – who are like, ‘Oh, that’s not authentic.’ But this is your first [solo] album; it’s the first time that anyone’s been able to see your vision, just by yourself, of what you want to be doing. It’s also the first time you’ve had a chance to make what you want to be doing. When I was seeing that, I thought, ‘I wish people would lay off you a bit and just let you have a good time in the studio and make the music you want to be making.’” Leigh-Anne: “It got to me a little bit, because in the same breath, someone would say, ‘She should just do pop music,’ or, ‘She shouldn’t be experimenting with things like this,’ and, ‘inauthentic.’ Then, in another breath, they’ll say: ‘Where are all the Black pop girls?’ You can’t see us because you’re tearing us down. You’re not allowing us to thrive and are not supporting us. They did the same to Chloe Bailey and Normani. It’s a vicious cycle, and it gets so frustrating. Can you imagine if everyone just supported us, how uplifted we could all feel and be? And we would be in those same spaces as the others.”

Leigh-Anne graces the cover of BRICKS Magazine.

Hey guys I have an update on what happened to Meg the stallion and how she’s doing That I just received from a spokesperson for Megan Thee Stallion: “On Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms. Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms. Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting. Megan is incredibly grateful for the prayers and well-wishes from her supporters and is looking forward to resuming her role as Zidler on Moulin Rouge on Thursday.”

@MegansStats Clearly she's been overdoing it and needs some rest. She's human. We understand ❤️❤️

Megan Thee Stallion confirms via IG she is okay and will be returning to the role of Zidler on Thursday! — “Last night was a real wake-up call for me. I've been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me. I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but | just couldn't. Hotties I wanna be real with y'all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting yall down 🥺I just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been..!'Il be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve. Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything”

Romance is back and it’s got a passport stamp.  You, Me & Tuscany brings back the soft, joyful, a little messy magic of Black rom-coms we’ve been missing. Starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page, this love story reminds us that sometimes healing looks like laughter. Sometimes, it looks like letting love meet you exactly where you are, and sometimes, it looks like Tuscany. In theaters April 10. Read the digital cover here: essence.com/of-the-essence…
